Overview

Hokkaido Winter Limited One-Day Tour, departing from Sapporo, with multiple routes to choose from. No need to worry about planning transfers, unlock the snowy scenery of the northern country. A｜Asahiyama Zoo + Shikisai no Oka (optional snowmobile): Check in at Japan's northernmost zoo and watch the penguin parade in the snow; stroll through the vast, silvery white snowfield of Shikisai no Oka, where you can experience snowmobiling and enjoy the fun of the icy wilderness. B｜Asahiyama Zoo + Shirasu Falls: Visit the adorable Asahiyama Zoo to meet penguins and seals; head to Shirasu Falls nestled in the mountains, admire the ice-encircled waterfall, and experience the serene mountain scenery of Hokkaido. C｜Blue Pond Illumination: Visit Shirogane Blue Pond, where the winter snow reflects the blue ice, and after the evening illumination, the pond water presents a dreamy blue hue, immersing you in the tranquil atmosphere of a snowy night. D｜Ningle Terrace + Blue Pond Illumination: Check in at two winter-limited night views at once. Ningle Terrace features twinkling lights in the forest cabins, paired with the dreamy illumination of the Blue Pond, to experience the fairy-tale night of the snow country. 🐧Asahiyama Zoo｜Hokkaido's Winter Adorable Paradise Asahiyama Zoo is Japan's northernmost popular zoo. In snowy weather, you can watch penguins walk in the snow, raccoons act cute, and seals play. Every scene is soft, cute, and healing. ❄️Shikisai no Oka｜Hokkaido's Winter Snowmobile Thrill Ride In winter, Shikisai no Oka is covered in silver. Ride a snowmobile across the snowfield, feel the speed and freedom, and encounter the vast tranquility of Hokkaido. 🌲Christmas Tree｜Biei Town's Solitary Healing Check-in Spot The "Lonely Christmas Tree" in Biei Town, a single spruce standing alone in the field, resembles a Christmas tree. It's tranquil and healing, and every shot is a Japanese-style blockbuster, making it an iconic check-in spot in Hokkaido. 💦Shirasu Falls｜Hokkaido's Serene Natural Secret Realm Shirasu Falls is named for its water flow resembling an old man's white beard. The water trickles, mist rises, and the mountain air is crisp. Standing on the observation deck and looking into the distance can soothe all restlessness. ✨Ningle Terrace｜Hokkaido's Winter Ice and Snow Fairy Tale Visiting Hokkaido in winter, you must go to the Ningle Terrace for its illumination! Warm yellow lanterns adorn the forest, soft light spills over the white snow, the fairy cabins are small and nimble, and the "crunch" of walking on snow is healing. Every step is a real-life ice and snow fairy tale. 💎Shirogane Blue Pond｜Hokkaido's Dreamy Blue Secret Realm Biei Shirogane Blue Pond is hidden deep in the forest. Due to volcanic minerals, it presents a dreamy milky blue color. In winter, blue ice reflects the snow, and at night, it's illuminated, creating a tranquil, ethereal, and healing atmosphere.
